Ive noticed that here and on jetcareers alot of people hate on Gulfstreamers and other pft/pfj outfits. I just dont see the reason to bash on these guys so hard if they decided to take this route. My wife last week finished up her CS training at Spirit and I was picking her up and the pilot class was finishing up. 95% of the guys there were from GFT...........So if guys are making it to a "major" like Spirit, why should you call them scabs and that they will never get a jumpseat or that interviewers wont consider them. I also have friends at DAL, CAL, SWA and TRS that were all ex-GFT'rs; Both FO's and Capts. So why hate? let these guys be.
All the BS about paying youre dues and this and that dont matter these days. Airlines want pilots and want them now not 2 years from now when we finish CFIing. I just feel that these guys dont deserve all the bashing...... I am not a GFTer but just made that my screen.....Im sweating bullets in the right seat of a 152 just like the rest of us trying to make it.................Just wondering why dont you guys bash CFI's for making that choice and not going GFT and pay for a job or rent a right seat. Its all the same ******* we paid for CFI just as they paid for GFT. Just my 2 cents......
